SHELTER REMNANT
20” x 16” pencil on paper Collection of the Woodson Art Museum Exploring concepts of loss and the passage of time, Shelter Remnant is an example of a structure built and shaped to suit the specific needs of those who once dwelt within. Stark and lonely, it is a response to change and the memory of place. 
DETAILS OF PLACE
20” x 16” pencil on paper Details of Place examines the significance of home and of leaving. Whispering of finality and change, it suggests that a sense of place endures through memory. Faded and fragile, it signifies the transient nature of existence. available 
TRANSIENCE
20” x 16” pencil on paper Transience symbolizes change and the ephemeral beauty of nature. Tranquil and empty, it quietly alludes to past events and the continued progress of existence, suggesting that we will always be attached to our sense of place in this world through memory. available |
THE COMPLEXITY OF HOME

RELIC
20” x 16” pencil on paper Time is measured by change. Relic is an expression of remembrance and the nature of existence. Intricate and frail, it represents old voices, understanding and acceptance. available 
REPOSE 20” x 16” pencil on paper Sometimes only an i mage can adequately express an idea or feeling. Repose speaks of serenity and peace while capturing the nest's complexity and fragility. . available |
